Alex, agreed. I will take this series first and see if the patches apply 
cleanly against my wpan tree. Once in they can be feed back into net, 
net-next and finally wpan-next again.

That sounds like a great plan to me. I know splitting the huge amount of 
work you do up into digestible pieces is work not much liked, so I 
appreciate that you take this without much grumble. :-)

I also finally started to start my review backlog on your work. Catched 
up on the big v3 patchset now. Will look over the newest sets over the 
weekend so we should be ready to process the fixes series and maybe more 
next week.

>> Also, please give me the weekend to review this patch series.

Alex, whenever you are ready with them please add you ack and I will doe 
my review and testing in parallel.

And being so reactive is very much appreciated. We just need to throttle 
this a bit so we can keep up with reviewer resources. :-)
